Were all the officials supplied by MMA Officials or just Dean Weir checking the fighters over?

A promoter matching himself against Persil is past shocking, he should be made to fight a real MMA fighter infront of a bunch of his mates, see how he jumps around then. Pussy.

As far as I've been made aware MMA Officials refused to referee the fight but the promotion insisted it go ahead, hence a referee with no MMA experience officiating it at late notice (not via MMA Officials).

I did wonder, didn't strike me as someone Neil or Dean would put in there, knowing both well and working with both I know their exacting standards

Firstly I must state I have never professed to being any good, but I have never cheated putting my knee down on semi pro to get a DQ win.
Secondly to those who have said MMA Officials are on a witch hunt for me, because they have stopped my last 3 fights from happening in the last 3 months and there are those with worse records, like the guy in the North East who is 0-20-0 and left him alone, they are only exercising their right to apply their labour when and where they want and I hold no grudges. So you can cut them some slack as they are good for the sport.

The one thing that puzzles me more than anything about this whole situation, is why is it that no-one discusses the possibility of Mike Persil beocming more involved through training to be judge or a ref. It is the obvious way for a person who lacks the requisite level fo skill and/or is too old to compete at a high level and is enthusiastic about MMA to get heavily involved in the sport in a rewarding and safe way. Or is that a suggestion that's already been made but got buried in a myriad od 'Mike is a crap fighter' type posts
